Porter 14

All three of these telescopes came from a generous donation from the Porter family.  All three are Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrains with long focal lengths and compact designs.  That makes these ideal for a busy night in the Robert Glass Starport. They tend to be the workhorses for our evening programs.
